NEW FIGHTER SERIES BY SIRIO

plaatje
This month Sirio is introducing a limited edition of a the new ‘FIGHTER SERIES’. For this new series Sirio took some popular long CB antennas like:
• Performer 5000 3/8×24 without Shaft
• Performer 5000 3/8×24 with Shaft
• Performer 5000
• Performer 5000PL
• Hi-Power 4000PL
The specs are quite similar but the look is totally different. Instead of the standard grey coils you know get a ‘MILITARY’ or ‘CAMO’ look for these CB antennas.

There will not be big market for these antennas. But for those who drive a military vehicle or those active in airsoft activities these antennas are a great gadget.
And let us be fair, if you drive a ‘regular’ car you get a lot of looks when you drive around with an antenna from the fighter series.

It is a limited edition, so if you want to have some FIGHTER fun, act now.

EUROPEAN MOBILE ANTENNA MOUNTS

The regular antenna mount for mobile CB antennas in continental Europe is the N-mount, also known as the DV-Mount.
There are several version of the N-mount, like N, NE and NP.

There are several accessories/adaptors that allow operators to use whips with other connections on these mounts.

USA MOBILE ANTENNA MOUNTS

While most of Europe uses the so called DV-Mount, in the UK we see a lot of mounts similar to the American mounts with 3/8×24 thread.

M6 THREAD WHIPS

A few years ago some truck brands in Europe decided to use antenna mounts with M6-Male thread based on an unknown type used only/mainly in Scandinavian countries.

DRIE

Now, there is a new antenna mount version that is used by some truck brands. It is not an M6 but M7 thread.
To use M6 whips on the new M7 mounts there is an adaptor available to make your M6 antenna fit on the M7 mount.
This adaptor allows you to use the existing M6 whips on the new M7 mount.
